error: from RouterOS device: no such command or directory (wireless) #155

When trying to export wireless statistics for my new haP ax3 device, the mikrotik-exporter just produces this error:

error: from RouterOS device: no such command or directory (wireless)

and checking on the console, there is indeed no /interface/wireless menu available. All wireless operations happen in the /interface/wifiwave menu, as described at https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WifiWave2

I suspect this error to happen for every router that replaces the wireless stack with wifiwave2, which includes all wifi6 capable routers from mikrotik

Poking a bit more at this, I see from https://github.com/nshttpd/mikrotik-exporter/blob/trunk/collector/wlanif_collector.go#L25 and https://github.com/nshttpd/mikrotik-exporter/blob/trunk/collector/wlanif_collector.go#L74 that the code is relying on the output of this command:

[admin@rb4011] > /interface/wireless/monitor 0 once
                 status: running-ap
      wireless-protocol: 802.11
     registered-clients: 4
  authenticated-clients: 4
            wmm-enabled: yes
    notify-external-fdb: no

Unfortunately, the output on my haP ax3 device looks slightly different:

[admin@ax3] > /interface/wifiwave2/monitor 0 once
             state: running
           channel: 5500/ax/Ceee
  registered-peers: 2
  authorized-peers: 2
          tx-power: 20

It seems similar enough to me that the code could attempt to cover the new wifiwave2 routers as well as old APIs to make the exporter easier to use.

What do you think?
